Fruit of the Month

To the Editor: Before I invest I like to read the most current Barron's articles. I read about both Chiquita and Apple, and I decided to bite into the banana rather than the apple. Apple may have more juice, but the banana is going to be much easier to digest. Apple could take a big fall from a tree, while the banana seems to be closer to the ground.
